Replace wheel on 111R

[IanBowers]

Broken the FNS alloy (new shoes, foot caught under steering wheel shaft, tight corner). Taken photo, given VIN, but ...

News from Hethel is that there are '100's of options', return wheel and we will match, 2 weeks if lucky.

Any wise suggestions over sources for replacement, or alternative solutions?

100's of options of road wheel ??? Cant you just go into your local dealers and get one there , not cheap im sure but they'll probably have one on the forecourt you could just point to and say " one of these please " and then they'll order you one . Or do i have the wrong end of the stick ?

Well, that's what the guys at Hethel say. I think it's bonkers, which is why I'm here.

I hope that there is someone here who has been there, done that, sorted

There is a big website for breakers. Just put in your make and model etc and it goes to loads all over the UK. You can get them for as little as £40 according to Mr Wiki on SELOC. Also try ads on here, SELOC and ebay.

Shiny wheel with reasonable tyre arrived this morning from Valley Breakers. Good and pleasant service, fair price. Would happily use again and recommend
